The First Traitor
Heading into his final year at the secret spy school known as the Orphanage, Bennet is hoping to get through to graduation with no hiccups. With the help of his classmate, Darcy, Bennet has moved on from the death of his brother, Collin, last fall. He's successfully started training as a field agent, and he's managed to earn the respect of the agents at the Orphanage with his successful assignment against an oil tyrant last June. He’s confident nothing can stop him from having a terrific final year.
But events soon prove him wrong. The Orphanage is frantically on the hunt for the mysterious person known as the Shepherd, who they are convinced is set on wreaking havoc in the world. Bennet and Darcy have been kicked off the assignment and told to focus on their training. But during a routine assignment to Google headquarters, Bennet encounters the last person he expected to see—and barely survives.
In the aftermath, Bennet feels like someone is shadowing him every time he leaves the Orphanage. No one believes him except Oliver, the new kid from the organization’s British location. He teams up with Bennet to try to find and stop this unknown shadow.
On a class assignment, Bennet and Oliver risk everything to catch Bennet’s shadow and come face to face with a ghost from Bennet's past who forces him to make some difficult decisions. Who is his family? Whom can he trust? Will he become a traitor?
Or . . . is a traitor already among them?

R.S. Twells wows with the latest instalment in The Agent Bennet Saga. The First Traitor is a compelling sequel packed with intrigue and an edge of your seat plot that grabs the reader and doesn’t let go until the final page.

R.S Twells is one of my favorite up and coming new authors. Her books are gripping. She has a way of engaging you from the very beginning. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait for book number 3!

Whoever said reading is relaxing, definitely hasn't read this yet 🤧
Ever since I finished The Field Agent, I've been dying to read what's next for Bennet and Darcy, and how the mystery of the Shepard connects with the Orphanage and our protagonist; but nothing would've prepared me for THAT kind of connection between the two 😭
As much as I loved Bennet's evolution/struggle throughout the novel, at times it came across as rather repetitive and didn't do much to thicken the plot. However, it did made the last few chapters a nightmare, since it became evident how everything that was unraveling was affecting Bennet:(
That being said, I can't wait to see what's next in the story, and what will Bennet do now that the stakes are higher than ever.

Quien sea que haya dicho que leer es relajante, definitivamente no ha leído esto todavia 🤧
Desde que terminé The Field Agent, me moría por leer lo siguiente de Bennet y Darcy, y como el misterio de The Shepard se conecta con The Orphanage y nuestro protagonista; pero nada me hubiera preparado para ESE tipo de conexión entre ambos 😭

Por más que me gustó la evolución/conflicto interno de Bennet durante la novela, a veces se sentía repetitivo y no hacía mucho para aumentar la trama. Sin embargo, si hizo que los últimos capítulos fuesen una pesadilla, ya que se volvió más que obvio como todo lo que estaba sucediendo le afectaba a Bennet:(
Una vez dicho esto, no puedo esperse a ver que es lo siguiente en la historia, que hará Bennet ahora que el daño es mucho más alto.
---NOTA RECIÉN TERMINADO---
ese final??? 😭😭😭

This book is honestly just AMAZING! When I read the first book I thought “wow, this book is just down my alley!” Then I read the second one and when I tell you I laughed, smiled and stared in shock at the pages, I’m being honest!
It’s a real page turner, and I love how each character has their own unique personality that make them seem real and fun.
The plot twist just kept coming in a beautiful pace and I absolutely love reading about Bennet’s journey and his discoveries.
The amount of times I stared at the book in shock is more then I can count, the author did a super well done job at writing these books, and I hope she knows just how much joy this book brings not only me, but so many people!
This book series is definitely a 10/10

Absolutely love this book! This had me on edge the entirety of Christmas and New Years and I had to keep telling my family to be quiet so I can fully absorb and appreciate this book. This book (and the First Agent) hit very close to home and made me really appreciate my relationship with my family. 10/10 would recommend and am recommending!

The saga keeps getting better. I love the Vivid description of the different situations that the characters go through. Is rough, emotional, real, and so engaging!
